SETTING UP AND PLAYING YOUR P50-m
Powering Up
1.
If you haven’t done so already, press the POWER/VOL
control on the P50-m.
2.
Turn on the power of your MIDI keyboard.
3.
Make sure that all volume controls (on the P50-m and the
connected amplifier) are turned down. Then, turn on the
power of your amplifier speaker system.
4.
Finally, set the volume control on the P50-m to about the
midway position initially (you can raise it later if needed),
and set the volume on the amplifier to a suitable level.
Playing the Demo Song
Now that you’ve set everything up properly, try playing the built-
in Demo Song. This showcases the high-quality Voices and the
AWM2 tone generation system of the P50-m.
Simultaneously press the MASTER TUNE and NOTE SHIFT
buttons.
The Demo song for the selected Voice starts playing
immediately and repeats indefinitely until stopped (by pressing
any panel button). (The LEDs and lamps flash in a pattern dur-
ing playback.)
More about Demo Song
There are actually two Demo Song modes. In the Single
Demo Play mode (described above), the currently selected
Voice is used for the Demo song. Each Voice has its own
Demo song, specially programmed to suit and showcase
that particular Voice.
In the All Demo Play mode (described below), all Demo
songs can be played back in succession.
